this is ridiculous. sign him already! he is the best defensive player in the league. hurry up jerry. he is a class act off the field and deserves to be compensated for his on field dominance. i know it will get done but should have been done already.


btw did ratliff get an extention last year? if so why did he get one and not dware?

Nope.

Signed a five year extension in 2007.

and ware is still on his rookie contract. :bang2:
Ratliff also only cost $20.5 million over five years, where Ware will cost upwards of $80 million. It's a lot tougher to get a deal done that's going to cost more than most QB's in the league make.

If I was GM, I woudn't sign any of these knuckleheads until I absolutely had too. Halfway through thier last year of their current deal seems about right.

Whats the point signing him now? No other huge name is going to get signed between now and then. The Haynesworth deal is the starting point. Nobody else is going to get more than Haynesworth between now and game 10 of this year. Why not wait and see what happens?

whats the rush?
the haynesworth deal screwed everything up IMO.
the lack of a CBA also is something to consider. he could be a RFA next year if they cant get a new one, so we could wait a year to pay him ungodly amounts of money. plus we may not have to deal with a salary cap starting next season.

These are 2 of the biggest reasons why Jerry hasn't made the signing.

Anyone who thinks Jerry will let Ware wear anything else but a Star till he is in his mid thirties is worrying for nothing.

They are just negotiating how ridiculously rich Ware will be eventually.

Rumor is they're letting him walk after this season, then we're trading for Jarvis Moss.

People are still worried about this???

Ware will get his contract, its not like not getting the deal done will keep this beast off the field.

Since when did D-Ware become a knucklehead?

Holy cow, look who popped in for a visit. How the hell are you?

Ware isn't worried about it. Hard for me to fathom why some fans are all up in arms over it.

I may be headed up to your neck of the woods in the next couple of weeks. I'll have to give you a shout and see if we can go grab a bite and shoot the crap.

Gotta let him walk.

Folks around here love compensatory draft picks.

Its better to get the deal done sooner rather than later. I could see why jerry would hesitate every time he's paid a defensive player they just sucked the next year (hamlin)

The answer is very simple. Ware hasn't been offered a deal he likes yet. He'll sign when he does like the deal. :D
